In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Coupland like this:
COPELAND-CASTLE, an old seat in the north of Northumberland; on the river Glen, 4¼ miles NW of Wooler. It succeeded an older seat, which belonged to John de Copeland who took David II. prisoner; and it was built, in 1614, by the Wallaces; and passed to the Ogles.
